Investigations of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling Relevant to Operational Systems.

Abstract

Important advances were made in understanding the dynamics of the magnetosphere and its coupling to the ionosphere. Significant progress was made in the areas of polar cusp precipitation and dynamics; dayside auroral morphology and auroral boundary dynamics; polar rain; the quiescent polar cap; the physics of impulsive injection phenomena; and problems of global magnetospheric plasma transport. Keywords: Auroral oval, Magneto sheaths, Polar cap absorption, Defense meteorological satellite program, Magnetosphere, Ionosphere, Aurora, Cusp, Storm, Particle precipitation, Magnetic storms.
